Great build! I wasn't a fan of 2000s MTB frames because of the look, but some of these GT frames from that time are not bad at all. Maybe an alternative for new resto mods, because good, affordable vintage bikes from the 90s are slowly becoming scarce in my area (Germany).

Very nice. Like those bars. I’ve gone alt bars also on my 26 inch former MTB converted to commuter road bike. Those are 700c road carbon forks right? What’s the brand? I searched high and low a couple years back for carbon forks with a disk brake mount, no joy, all I could find was 700c road bike forks with no disc caliper mounts, and no fender or rack eyelets.
@DePuesshopАй бұрын
They are 29" mountain bike forks. I have a link to them in the video description. Also, look on Alibaba Express for fork options.
@PRH123Ай бұрын
@ cool, thanks! I used rigid steel 26” forks in the end, and because it lowers the head tube and so reduces the angle, it makes the steering super fast, good for the city, but overall too twitchy. The longer 29er forks could alleviate that.
@xaviermann996312 күн бұрын
Great build but I hate the silent treatment. I want to know why you chose the parts you did. Did that fork have a carbon or alloy steerer tube? Was this a metal or carbon stem in the steerer tube?

@JohnPilling25Ай бұрын
Unfortunately there is nothing "affordable" about installing drop bars and drop bar shifters especially if you want hydraulic disc brakes.
@peterch4978Ай бұрын
@@JohnPilling25 I would use some old, 8speed, v-brake or mechanical disc hybrid + add drop bar + claris shifters or some used road shifters (1x8 or 2x8, keep original crank 28/38/48), since 8speed parts are much cheaper
@JohnPilling25Ай бұрын
@@peterch4978 I am at the point of building a new bike from scratch. I have the frame, a Pipedream ALICE, and wheels , DTSwiss thru axle gravel 700c. I want drop bar hydraulic disc brakes but the cost is prohibitive so I'm going flat bar and using Shimano mtb brakes and microShift AdventX 1x10 mtb shifters. 30T to 11-48T is my choice of gearing. The bike can take either flat mount or post mount calipers. The only cable operated brakes that I would consider are Growtacs equal pull from Vélo Orange but they are $350 a pair and only one pad moves. They do support the basic Shimano pads so getting ceramic pads is easy - I have the ceramic pads on 2 other bikes and they are awesome in the mountains dry or wet. BTW the frame cannot accommodate a front derailleur because of a cut out for the internal route of a dropper post cable, much to my annoyance. I was going to go 2x at the front with 32/24. There are some steep hills where I live in Europe.
